In 2014, André Schürrle lifted the World Cup with Germany, scoring three goals and delivering the decisive assist in the final.
Just 9 years later, he had already stepped away from professional football at only 29. Since then, he’s discovered a completely new path in life: embracing the Wim Hof Method, one of the world’s most demanding endurance disciplines.
He climbed Mount Sněžka, the highest peak in the Czech Republic (1,630 meters above sea level), wearing no T-shirt and only shorts.
🗣️ Schürrle: “In the final minutes, I couldn’t feel my body anymore and had to dig deep within myself to keep moving. It’s an experience I’ll never forget. Minus 19 degrees, 100 km/h winds hitting our faces, with heavy snow and rain. What I realized is this: my body and I are far stronger than I ever imagined, if I commit my mind and soul, anything is possible.”
50 yrs ago today, a bike & car-free zone for holidays only—nicknamed #pedestrianparadise—opened in Ginza. While temporarily canceled due to #COVID19, it continues to reflect Japan's cultural trend at the very center of Tokyo's major shopping district: https://t.co/KjQiHljFEQ
Vinesh Phogat will finish last in the women's 50kg category at the Olympics after failing to make weight by less than a 100 grams.
Cuba’s Yuznelys Guzman will wrestle in the Olympic final. Oksana Livach and Yui Susaki will wrestle for the Olympic bronze. Every one of them was beaten by Vinesh Phogat.
In the end, the only one able who could beat Vinesh Phogat in Paris was Vinesh Phogat.

Boosting this stat I posted yesterday about Akari Fujinami: she’s literally never wrestled a full 6 minute match internationally. She’s teched and pinned every single opponent she’s ever face.
One exception: a full 4-minute match at 2018 U17 Worlds vs Lucia Yepez🇪🇨.
#Paris2024#Olympics#Wrestling Confirmation from IOC. that Vinesh will be replaced by the Cuban wrestler who she beat last night, and Lopez will play the final tonight. 🥲

Before we start, here is an irreplaceable member of the 80/90s’s Indian middle class household 👇👇👇
Man films on beach as the first waves from the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami hit. In Indonesia's Aceh province in Northern Sumatra, waves reached 167 feet (51 meters) and caused flooding up to three miles (five kilometers) inland. Over 220,000 people perished.
